Maynooth University Examinations Office

Exam venues will be on both the North and South campuses, they will be clearly indicated on the timetable. Maps can be found here.

All exams scheduled within the centrally timetabled exam period will have a duration of either 60, 90, 120 or 180 minutes. Durations will be clearly indicated on the timetable.

No, the university does not require vaccination, but strongly recommends it. Vaccination is a sensible measure and it seems wise for you to get vaccinated unless you are advised against vaccination by your doctor.
 
However this is a personal medical decision, and the university will not require you to be vaccinated, or prevent you from attending exams.

No, students will have to sit their exams as scheduled on the timetable. Individal accomodations will be reflected on a students personalised timetable.

If you have symptoms that could be COVID-19 related, have received a positive test or have been advised to self-isolate, please remain off-campus to protect others.
 
If you develop symptoms when you are on campus, you should call the Covid Response Team at extension 7999 (01-474 7999). They will guide you to an isolation room where you can wait safely. While here you can contact your doctor or the Student Health Centre, and you can arrange to be collected to go home. If there is no-one to collect you, the Covid Response Team will help you to get home without risk of infecting others. If you live on campus, the Covid Response Team may ask you to move to a separate room, to minimise the risk of passing on infection to others.

If you are sick on the day of your exam and cannot sit the exam you should make contact with the academic department administration office to let them know that you did not attend the exam and they can advise if there is any further information they need.
 
There is no need for you to notify the Examinations Office.
 
You may have the opportunity to resit the exam in the August Supplemental/resit period. It is the responsibility of the student to register for the August Supplemental/resits. All relevant information is available on the Examinations Office website.

Exams will take place as per the published examination timetable and we cannot make any changes to this.

If there are exceptional reasons that mean you cannot attend your scheduled exam you are advised to contact the Examinations Office (exams.office@mu.ie) to arrange an appointment to discuss.

You may have the opportunity to resit the exam in the August Supplemental/resit period. It is the responsibility of the student to register for the August Supplemental/resits. All relevant information is available on the Examinations Office website.

If you are going to be late for your exam you should contact the Examinations Office immediately on 01 708 3820 or by email (exams.office@mu.ie) and they can advise on the next steps.

If you cannot sit your exam, there is no need to defer or to deregister, you can simply not show up.  However it is good practice to let the relevant department know, so that they understand the situation.  You can then register to take the resit in Autumn. There are a very small number of modules where an Autumn resit is not allowed.  These are indicated on Course Finder. If you are in one of these modules, you should contact the Department and explain the situation.
